Subject: [PATCH nf-next] netfilter: arptables: allow arptables-nft only builds
Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2024 16:42:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240123154252.12834-1-fw@strlen.de> (raw)
Allows to build kernel that supports the arptables mangle target
via nftables' compat infra but without the arptables get/setsockopt
interface or the old arptables filter interpreter.
IOW, setting IP_NF_ARPFILTER=n will break arptables-legacy, but
arptables-nft will continue to work as long as nftables compat
support is enabled.
